Tone Scale and "Know To Sex" Scale
The tone scale is a gradient chart that describes rational or pro-survival behavior on an individual. The higher a person is in tone scale the higher is his ability to survive. The tone scale is described in detail in the book “The Science of Survival”. Chapter 18 of this book describes the tone scale as it applies to second dynamic: “At the highest MEST point of the Tone Scale, 4.0, one finds monogamy, constancy, a high enjoyment level and very moral reaction towards sex.”
Selected citations from the Chart of Human Evaluation:
| Number Value | Sexual Behavior | Attitude Toward Children |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0 | Sexual interest high but often sublimated to creative thought | Intense interest in children |
| 3.0 | Interest in procreation | Interest in children |
| 2.0 | Disgust at Sex; revulsion | Nagging of and nervousness about children |
| 1.1 | Promiscuity, perversion, sadism, irregular practices | Use of children for sadistic purposes |
In The Creation of Human Ability, Hubbard hailed "compelled admiration" as an important step of progress in "Knowingness", as measured on his "Know to Sex" scale. Hubbard stated:
| “ | It can be observed that the eating of living flesh or live cells delivers a kind of admiration to the taste, and it can be observed that under torture, duress of all kinds, the tortured one will suddenly, if degradedly, admire his torturer. | ” |
Hubbard then went on to say that sex was an even better "communication system" for the same purposes of forced "admiration", and defined the sex act, consensual or otherwise, as "an interchange of condensed admiration particles".
According to Hubbard's Know to Mystery Scale (an expansion of the Know to Sex Scale) the tone level parallel with the level of "sex" on the Know to Mystery Scale is -6.0, which is the level of "sacrifice" on the Tone Scale. This is considered to be a level of emotion beneath the death of the body.

Famous quotes containing the words tone and/or scale:
“There was about all the Romans a heroic tone peculiar to ancient life. Their virtues were great and noble, and these virtues made them great and noble. They possessed a natural majesty that was not put on and taken off at pleasure, as was that of certain eastern monarchs when they put on or took off their garments of Tyrian dye. It is hoped that this is not wholly lost from the world, although the sense of earthly vanity inculcated by Christianity may have swallowed it up in humility.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Another armored animal—scale
lapping scale with spruce-cone regularity until they
form the uninterrupted central
tail-row!”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
